Chapter 15 Gaining Command

After Zhao Yueru's taunt, the faces of Shi Feng's team members turned ashen. Even Heizi, who was usually fond of beautiful women, couldn't stand it. How could such a beautiful woman have such a venomous tongue? He wanted to retort, but couldn't bring himself to say anything.

The Darkmoon Mausoleum dungeon was too difficult. Even if he believed in Shi Feng's strength and skill, who could guarantee success against so many special elites and elite monsters?

"What? Cat got your tongue?" Zhao Yueru sneered, looking at Shi Feng, who was silent and seemed to be contemplating something.

The members of Serpent of Devouring also looked at Shi Feng with disdain. They had already despaired of Darkmoon Mausoleum. Even Bai Qingxue was helpless, so what could a decent closed beta tester do?

"He's just a closed beta tester; who can't talk on paper? If you're so capable, you lead the way. If not, shut your trap."

"Hmph, just a bunch of freeloaders. They just whine after they fail, playing Monday morning quarterback."

The members of Serpent of Devouring all had their own pride and supported Zhao Yueru, venting all their despair on Shi Feng with various taunts.

"What are you talking about?"

"If it weren't for Feng-ge, would you even be alive right now?"

The members of Shi Feng's team couldn't stand it any longer and were filled with rage, on the verge of starting a fight.

If it hadn't been for Shi Feng's reminder, both MTs would have been killed. Without MTs to tank, the people behind them would also die. It would have been a miracle if a few of them escaped.

Just as the two sides were arguing, a deep voice emerged from the team, interrupting the dispute. Everyone was dumbfounded, thinking they had misheard.

"I've observed the surroundings and those monsters, and I've come up with a way to get through the Mist Zone. I just don't know if Miss Bai is willing to hand over command and let me lead?" Shi Feng smiled slightly, looking at Bai Qingxue. He didn't care about the sarcasm of Zhao Yueru and the others because it was all part of his plan. From the moment Zhao Yueru started to mock him, his goal had been achieved. If Zhao Yueru and the others didn't do this, how could he take the initiative?

"If you can lead everyone through the mist, handing over the captaincy to you is not a problem."

Bai Qingxue's icy expression changed slightly. Being able to pass was naturally a good thing, and she wasn't a petty person. She just didn't know why, but when she saw Shi Feng's smile, she felt a faint sense of discord, as if everything was under Shi Feng's control.

"Qingxue, I was just joking. How can the team be handed over to this guy to command?" Zhao Yueru panicked. For the first vice president of the prestigious Serpent of Devouring to let an outsider command the team, wouldn't that make the other first-rate guilds laugh, saying that the Serpent of Devouring was incompetent?

"If you have other ways to get through, I don't mind," Shi Feng shrugged his shoulders, spreading his hands to show that he didn't care.

Zhao Yueru wanted to persuade Bai Qingxue. What she said before was just out of anger. If Shi Feng really became the captain, wouldn't the team be in chaos? Who would obey a solo player, even if he was skilled? There were plenty of people like that in the guild.

"Alright, now is not the time to worry about face. Clearing the dungeon is the top priority. From now on, Ye Feng will be in command. His words are my words. If anyone doesn't listen, you know the consequences," Bai Qingxue said coldly.

Bai Qingxue naturally knew Zhao Yueru's concerns. She had also considered them, but sacrificing the first clear of the team dungeon for the sake of face would only make the other guilds laugh at them.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. But if he commands poorly, I won't listen," Zhao Yueru glared at Shi Feng angrily. She didn't believe that Shi Feng could command well, let alone get through the Mist Zone. After all, Shi Feng was just a solo player and couldn't possibly have any team command experience. She would just wait and see Shi Feng make a fool of himself and laugh at him.

Seeing that Bai Qingxue had nodded in agreement, Shi Feng slowly said, "Now that the command has been decided, let's talk about the distribution of loot. All equipment will be distributed according to class, and other items will be auctioned within the team. Is that okay?"

"Ye Feng, don't go too far!" Zhao Yueru roared like an angry tigress, glaring fiercely at Shi Feng.

"Miss Zhao, I haven't kept a single item for myself. Everyone is competing fairly while we do the dungeon together, so how am I going too far?" Shi Feng said calmly with a smile.

The reason Shi Feng agreed to Bai Qingxue's distribution before was because he didn't have the confidence.

He knew the strategy for Darkmoon Mausoleum, but he couldn't show that he knew it before. After all, team dungeons weren't open during the closed beta, so even closed beta testers didn't know any information about Darkmoon Mausoleum. If he knew something, Bai Qingxue and the others would definitely suspect him.

Now that everyone knew the information about Darkmoon Mausoleum, and he had also gone to Darkmoon Mausoleum with them, as long as he acted like he had just thought of how to clear it, naturally no one would suspect him.

Even the shrewd Bai Qingxue wouldn't suspect that he had known how to clear Darkmoon Mausoleum all along.

"You..." Zhao Yueru was so angry that she couldn't speak, feeling like Shi Feng was getting ahead of himself.

Bai Qingxue didn't hesitate, smiling slightly and saying calmly, "Alright, as long as we can get through, I agree to this condition."

"Qingxue!" Zhao Yueru couldn't believe her ears. She agreed so easily? Those were life skill blueprints, and the drops from team dungeons were priceless. How could she let an outsider benefit?

"Alright, nothing matters if we don't clear the dungeon. If we get something after we clear it, we'll just buy it. Could a solo player like Ye Feng be richer than us?" Bai Qingxue explained softly.

Zhao Yueru suddenly understood. If they were competing in wealth, a hundred Shi Fengs couldn't compare. In the end, the items would still be theirs.

"Hmph, just be smug for now," Zhao Yueru was in a great mood now, even looking forward to clearing the dungeon quickly and getting the blueprint, so Shi Feng would know how foolish his decision was.

"Now that I'm in command, let's leave the dungeon first and come back after everyone is ready," Shi Feng took out a Return Scroll and started to read it.

Using a Return Scroll inside a dungeon would teleport everyone to the dungeon entrance, saving them the trouble of running.

When the others saw this, they also took out their Return Scrolls.

Now that the team had lost three people, they did need to rest.

Outside Darkmoon Mausoleum, many guild teams had died and returned, resting and preparing to challenge it again.

Seeing the team from Ice Snow Goddess come out of the dungeon, they were immediately shocked and hurriedly looked at the honor roll at the dungeon entrance.

Ice Snow Goddess had too much fame. With so many people coming out of the dungeon, the possibility of clearing it was too high. However, the honor roll was still empty, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief before continuing to rest and discuss how to clear Darkmoon Mausoleum.

More than ten minutes later, the team members were all ready, and everyone walked towards the teleportation portal again.

As the captain, Shi Feng directly adjusted the difficulty to Hell Mode when choosing the difficulty.

Suddenly, the color of the teleportation portal changed, and a ghost head appeared and disappeared, making people tremble.

Before the people in the team could react, they turned into a streak of black light and entered Darkmoon Mausoleum.

The various guild members outside the dungeon entrance were also stunned.

What was going on?

They had only done the normal dungeon once and learned some information about Darkmoon Mausoleum, and now they were starting to clear Hell Mode Darkmoon Mausoleum?

Did they have to be so reckless!
